Brightline unveils new station at Orlando International Airport

Orlando ticket sales set to launch in May

ORLANDO, Fla. – Brightline on Thursday unveiled its Orlando Station at Orlando International Airport.

The 37,350-square-foot station, located next to Terminal C, will help Brightline connect service between Central Florida and South Florida. It connects directly to the airport’s Parking Garage C — which will have more than 350 parking spaces set aside for Brightline guests — and will also provide direct access to MCO’s other terminals A and B via the Terminal Link, an under five minute journey.

Passengers will be able to purchase tickets from guest services or a self-service kiosk inside the station before entering through touchless turnstiles to the security screening tunnel.

Once passengers make their way through the tunnel, they’ll be met with a two-story station space featuring the Mary Mary Bar, a retail store called “MRKT PLACE,” a split-flap message board, dozens of big-screen televisions and a BrightKids children’s play area, the company stated.

According to Brightline, the Mary Mary Bar will serve hand-crafted cocktails and light bites. The bar also has a panoramic view overlooking the train platforms, so guests can watch from above as trains arrive and depart. (Brightline)
